This is also almost certainly wrong. Those patent applications don't really have anything to do with Bitcoin. But I guess if you're a journalist, anything crypto related looks like it has to do with Bitcoin. And if I remember correctly, the bitcoin.org domain was registered by Satoshi using anonymousspeech.com, so that's also a clue.

>What are the odds that a phrase in Nakamoto's Bitcoin paper would be replicated in a patent application filed the same year? Further, what are the odds the domain name for Bitcoin would have been registered 72 hours after the patent application was filed?

  since it happened... 100%? seriously though, it's a coincidence that could easily be explained in other ways. for instance, many people in niche fields tend to use the same phrases and discover things at the same time. were Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray the same person? I'd call it interesting evidence, but not a smoking gun.

    There is more than one coinsidance. I suggest you to read the article. For example he works on cryptogrphy but his patent-friends work on nodes. I think that the real reason he is hiding himself is because he is using his friends' patents (the nodes) without permission in bitcoin.

Looking at Neal J. King's Facebook posts, his politics seem mainstream liberal, not libertarian. I'm not sure Satoshi would be such a big fan of Paul Krugman and vocally advocate increasing the debt ceiling. He also has a post back in 2011 specifically responding to the suggestion that he created Bitcoin.

Okay this example is too harsh but his few posts doesn't meant that he didn't.
